I've been fleeced! →[More:]Which is to say I got my sheepskin yesterday. It's enormous and I'm sitting on it right now.

The old sheep next door got hoof rot and we had to eat him. He hadn't been sheared for several years. It took two months to salt the hide - the climate is rather moist here. Then it went off to Pennsylvania to the Amish tannery.

It's like sitting on a cloud. I have to share it with the cats, but we've worked out a deal. I get first dibs and they can sit on me.

Something about this sentence makes me nervous. /me inspects own hooves for rot, feels reassured. Thinks about neighbors, wonders about their hooves, decides they are totally inedible anyway.
